Rebooting Rockwell’s America: News, Art, and Community
September 11 to 13
"Rebooting Rockwell's America," will pause for three days to consider the roots of American community, freedom, democracy, and the journalism which protects each. The presentations and conversations will consider how a generation of virtual pamphleteers—in cafes, schools, clubs and meeting rooms—might help point us to common ground via physical places. And now there is the promise that these places will be digitally united across a world that grows smaller, faster, more diverse and more precious by the year.
